NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Maryland kicker Brad Craddock has been named a second team Walter Camp All-American, the Walter Camp Foundation announced Thursday evening.
Craddock, a Lou Groza Award finalist, is Maryland's first All-American since 2011 when Joe Vellano earned Walter Camp second team All-American honors as well. He is also Maryland's 11th Walter Camp All-American all-time.
This season, Craddock has converted 18 of his 19 his field goals attempts and has made 11 field goals from 40-plus yards including a school-record 57-yard field goal against Ohio State on October 4. His conversion rate of 94.7 percent is a single-season school record and for his career he has made 81.7 percent of his kicks (49-60), which is also a program record.
Craddock also set a school record and tied a Big Ten record with 24 consecutive field goals made. The Big Ten record is shared with Ohio State's Mike Nugent who made 24 straight field goals from 2001-02.
Craddock was named the 2014 recipient of the Big Ten's Bakken-Andersen Kicker of the Year Award. He also was a first team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches and media, and a second team All-America selection by USA Today.
